About

Provided by Gleiss Lutz

Gleiss Lutz advises financial institutions as well as large and medium-sized enterprises on​ the full range of banking and finance matters in Germany and abroad. We specialise in assisting clients with regard to debt financing – in particular acquisition, real estate and project financing. We also advise on refinancings and restructurings as well as issues of banking and insurance regulation. Advising on derivatives and newer forms of financing such as green finance and sustainable finance also forms part of the broad range of services we offer. When it comes to international financing, we draw on our worldwide network of partner law firms, which means we can offer one-stop legal advice in the case of cross-border transactions.

Financial Regulation: Our regulatory experts advise financial institutions on all matters of banking, securities, payment services and investment law – from licensing to winding up. We understand the traditional issues of corporate governance at banks and investment firms; capital and compliance requirements; and outsourcing – as well as the regulation of banking groups, financial conglomerates and payment services providers; anti-money laundering; and remuneration policies for management board members and other executives.
